This invention is directed to a cathodic electrocoating composition and in particular to a cathodic electrocoating composition containing an anticrater agent which significantly reduces craters and improves the smoothness of an electrodeposited film of the composition.
The coating of electrically conductive substrates by an electrodeposition process, also called an electrocoating process is a well known and important industrial process. Electrodeposition of primers to automotive substrates is widely used in the automotive industry. In this process, a conductive article, such as an autobody or an auto part, is immersed in a bath of a coating composition of an aqueous emulsion of film forming polymer and acts as an electrode in the electrodeposition process. An electric current is passed between the article and a counter-electrode in electrical contact with the aqueous emulsion, until a desired coating is deposited on the article. In a cathodic electrocoating process, the article to be coated is the cathode and the counter-electrode is the anode.
Resin compositions used in the bath of a typical cathodic electrodeposition process also are well known in the art. These resins typically are made from polyepoxide resins which have been chain extended and then an adduct is formed to include amine groups in the resin. Amine groups typically are introduced through reaction of the resin with an amine compound. These resins are blended with a crosslinking agent and then neutralized with an acid to form a water emulsion which is usually referred to as a principal emulsion.
The principal emulsion is combined with a pigment paste, coalescent solvents, water, and other additives to form the electrocoating bath. The electrocoating bath is placed in an insulated tank containing the anode. The article to be coated is the cathode and is passed through the tank containing the electrodeposition bath. The thickness of the coating that is deposited on the article being electrocoated is a function of the bath characteristics, the electrical operating characteristics of the tank, the immersion time, and the like.
The resulting coated article is removed from the bath after a set period of time and is rinsed with deionized water. The coating on the article is cured typically in an oven at sufficient temperature to produce a crosslinked finish on the article.
Cathodic electrocoating compositions, resin compositions, coating baths and cathodic electrodeposition processes are disclosed in Jarabek et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,922,253 issued Nov. 25, 1975; Wismer et al U.S. Pat. No. 4,419,467 issued Dec. 6, 1983; Belanger U.S. Pat. No. 4,137,140 issued Jan. 30, 1979 and Wismer et al U.S. Pat. No. 4,468,307 issued Aug. 25, 1984.
A continuing problem with cathodic electrocoating compositions has been the presence of craters in the cured finish. An additive or agent is needed for electrocoating compositions so that crater-free, smooth and even finishes are formed on electrodeposition and curing. Chung et al U.S. Pat. No. 5,356,960 issued Oct. 18, 1994 shows an anticrater additive that forms a crater free, smooth and even finish. However, when this additive is used in an electrocoating composition that is baked in an indirect gas oven after application to a metal substrate such as an automobile or truck body, this anticrater additive migrates very readily to the surface of the electrocoating composition during baking. Any primer compositions applied over such a surface containing polymeric melamine crosslinking agents adhere poorly to the electrocoat composition and hence, adhesion failure of any topcoat applied over the primer is readily evident. An anticrater additive is needed that will not migrate to the surface of the deposited electrocoating composition during baking and should not adversely affect other properties such as the throwing power of the electrocoating bath, the curing of the deposited coating or the film properties of the resulting finish.
An improved aqueous cathodic electrocoating composition having a binder of an epoxy-amine adduct and a blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking agent; wherein the improvement is the use of an anticrater agent which is a silane terminated reaction product of polyoxyalkylene diamine and a glycidoxy alkyl alkoxy silane which is hydrolyzed and the anticrater agent has a number average molecular weight ratio of about 700-5,000 determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) using polystyrene as the standard.
The novel anticrater agent is readily incorporated into the electrocoating composition by dispersing it with a nonionic surfactant in water and then adding it to an aqueous electrocoating composition since it is compatible with the other constituents of the composition. The anticrater agent remains stable in the composition and in the electrocoating bath for extended periods of time under conventional bath operating conditions since it is not reactive with the other constituents in the composition. The anticrater agent significantly reduces and often eliminates craters in electrodeposited coatings and forms smooth and even finishes does not migrate to the surface on baking of the finish. Also, the additive does not adversely affect other properties of the electrocoating bath or finishes of the electrocoating composition. Further, the anticratering agent can be used as a rheology control agent to improve edge protection of an electrodeposited finish.
The anticrater additive is used in an electrocoating composition in a sufficient amount to significantly reduce or eliminate cratering in the electrodeposited finish. Generally, the anticrater agent is used in the electrocoating composition at a level of at least 0.5% by weight, based on the total weight of binder solids in the electrocoating composition and preferably, it is used at a level of about 0.5-10% by weight. More preferably, about 1-5% by weight of the anticrater agent is used. The binder of the electrocoating composition typically is a blend of an epoxy amine adduct and a blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking agent.
The anticrater agent is prepared by reacting a polyoxyalkylene diamine with glycidoxy alkyl alkoxy silane in a 1:2 molar ratio to form an anticratering agent having terminal silane groups. These constituents are reacted at a temperature of about 50� to 130� C. for about 1 to 5 hours until there is no residual epoxy present and subsequently hydrolzed. The anticrater agent has a number average molecular weight of about 700-5,000.
The polyoxyalkylene diamine used to form the anticrater agent has 2-4 carbon atoms in the alkylene group and preferably is polyoxypropylene diamine having number average molecular weight of about 230-3,000 preferably, 1,500-2,500 such as Jeffamine D-2000� having a number average molecular weight of about 2000 available from Huntsman Corporation. Another polyoxyalkylene diamine that can be used is polyoxyethylene diamine having a similar molecular weight.
Typically useful glycidoxy alkyl alkoxy silanes have the formula ##STR1## where R is methyl, ethyl, or a mixture of methyl and ethyl and n is 1-3. Typical silanes are gamma-glycidoxy propyl trimethoxy silane, gamma-glycidoxy ethyl trimethoxy silane, gamma-glycidoxy methyl trimethoxy silane, gamma-glycidoxy methyl triethoxy silane, gamma-glycidoxy ethyl triethoxy silane, gamma-glycidoxy propyl triethoxy silane. Gamma-glycidoxy propyl trimethoxy silane is preferred to form a high quality anticrater agent.
The anticrater agent can be added to the electrocoating composition at almost any time. It can be added to the principal emulsion, or to the bath the anticrater agent is blended with a nonionic surfactant and an acid such as lactic acid and dispersed in water until hydrolysis of silane group to silanol groups is completed and then added to the electrocoating composition as indicated above.
The anticrater agent after complete hydrolysis has the following structural formula: ##STR2## where n is 1-3 and m is 5-40 and R1 is an alkyl group having 2-4 carbon atoms.
Most principal emulsions used in an electrocoating composition comprise an aqueous emulsion of a binder of an epoxy amine adduct blended with a crosslinking agent which has been neutralized with an acid to form a water soluble product.
The anticrater agent is potentially usable with a variety of different cathodic electrocoat resins, but the preferred resin is the typical epoxy-amine adduct of the prior art. These resins are generally disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,419,467 which is incorporated by reference.
Typical acids used to neutralize the epoxy-amine adduct to form water dispersible cationic groups are lactic acid, acetic acid, formic acid, sulfamic acid, alkane sulfonic acids such as methane sulfonic acid and the like.
Preferred crosslinkers for the above resins are also well known in the prior art. These are aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic isocyanates such as hexamethylene diisocyanate, cyclohexamethylene diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, methylene diphenyl diisocyanate and the like. These isocyanates are pre-reacted with a blocking agent such as oximes, alcohols, or caprolactams which block the isocyanate functionality, i.e., the crosslinking functionality. Upon heating the blocking agents separate, thereby providing a reactive isocyanate group and crosslinking occurs. Isocyanate crosslinkers and blocking agents are well known in the prior art and also are disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 4,419,467.
The cathodic binder of the epoxy amine adduct and the blocked isocyanate are the principal resinous ingredients in the electrocoating composition and are usually present in amounts of about 30 to 50% by weight of solids of the composition. To form an electrocoating bath, the solids are generally reduced with an aqueous medium.
Besides the binder resin described above, the electrocoating composition usually contains pigment which is incorporated into the composition in the form of a pigment paste. The pigment paste is prepared by grinding or dispersing a pigment into a grinding vehicle and optional ingredients such as wetting agents, surfactants, and defoamers. Any of the pigment grinding vehicles that are well known in the art can be used or the anticrater agent of this invention can be used. After grinding, the particle size of the pigment should be as small as practical, generally, the particle size is about 6-8 using a Hegman grinding gauge.
Pigments which can be used in this invention include titanium dioxide, basic lead silicate, strontium chromate, carbon black, iron oxide, clay and the like. Pigments with high surface areas and oil absorbencies should be used judiciously because these can have an undesirable affect on coalescence and flow of the electrodeposited coating.
The pigment to binder weight ratio is also important and should be preferably less than 0.5:1, more preferably less than 0.4:1, and usually about 0.2 to 0.4:1. Higher pigment to binder weight ratios have been found to adversely affect coalescence and flow.
The coating compositions of the invention can contain optional ingredients such as wetting agents, surfactants, defoamers and the like. Examples of surfactants and wetting agents include alkyl imidazolines such as those available from Ciba-Geigy Industrial Chemicals as "Amine C", acetylenic alcohols available from Air Products and Chemicals as "Surfynol 104". These optional ingredients, when present, constitute from about 0.1 to 20 percent by weight of binder solids of the composition.
Optionally, plasticizers can be used to promote flow. Examples of useful plasticizers are high boiling water immiscible materials such as ethylene or propylene oxide adducts of nonyl phenols or bisphenol A. Plasticizers are usually used at levels of about 0.1 to 15 percent by weight resin solids.
The electrocoating composition of this invention is an aqueous dispersion. The term "dispersion" as used within the context of this invention is believed to be a two-phase translucent or opaque aqueous resinous binder system in which the binder is in the dispersed phase and water the continuous phase. The average particle size diameter of the binder phase is about 0.1 to 10 microns, preferably, less than 5 microns. The concentrations of the binder in the aqueous medium in general is not critical, but ordinarily the major portion of the aqueous dispersion is water. The aqueous dispersion usually contains from about 3 to 50 percent preferably 5 to 40 percent by weight binder solids. Aqueous binder concentrates which are to be further diluted with water when added to an electrocoating bath, generally have a range of binder solids of 10 to 30 percent weight.
The following example illustrates the invention. All parts and percentages are on a weight basis unless otherwise indicated.
The anticrater agent was prepared by charging 996.5 parts of Jeffamine D2000� (polyoxypropylene diamine having a number molecular weight of 2000 and an amine equivalent of 996.5) and 236 parts of gamma-glycidoxy propyltrimethoxy silane. The reaction mixture was heated to about 59� C. until the epoxy equivalent weight was greater than 40,000. The resulting adduct was then dispersed by combining 35 parts acetic acid and 4,900 parts deionized water and agitated until there was complete hydrolysis of silane groups to silanol groups. The resulting adduct solution had a nonvolatile content of 20%.
The following ingredients were charged into a suitable reaction vessel: 1478 parts of Epon 828� (Epoxy resin of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A having an epoxy equivalent weight of 188); 427 parts bisphenol A; 533 parts ethoxylated bisphenol A having a hydroxy equivalent weight of 247 (Synfac 8009�) and 121 parts xylene. The resulting reaction mixture was heated to 160� C. under nitrogen blanket and held at room temperature for 1 hour. 5.1 parts dimethyl benzyl amine were added and the mixture was held at 147� C. until an epoxy equivalent weight of 1050 was obtained. The reaction mixture was cooled to 98� C. and 168 parts of diketimine (reaction product of diethylenetriamine and methyl isobutyl ketone having a nonvolatile content of 72.27%) and 143 parts of methyl ethanol amine were added. The resulting mixture was held at 120� C. for 1 hour and then 727 parts of methyl isobutyl ketone were added. The resulting resin solution had a nonvolatile content of 75%.
An alcohol blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking resin solution was prepared by charging 317.14 parts of PAPI 2027� (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate), 47.98 parts of methyl isobutyl ketone and 0.064 parts of dibutyl tin dilaurate into a suitable reaction vessel and heated to 37� C. under a nitrogen blanket. A mixture of 323.10 parts of diethylene glycol mono butyl ether and 13.04 parts of trimethylolpropane was slowly charged into the reaction vessel while maintaining the reaction mixture below 93� C. for an additional hour until essentially all of the isocyanate was reacted as indicated by infrared scan of the reaction mixture. 2.30 parts of butanol and 167.37 parts of methyl isobutyl ketone were added. The resulting resin solution had a nonvolatile content of 75%.
The quaternizing agent was prepared by adding 87 parts dimethylethanolamine to 320 parts ethylhexanol half-capped toluene diisocyanate in the reaction vessel at room temperature. An exothermic reaction occured and the reaction mixture was stirred for one hour at 80� C. 118 parts aqueous lactic acid solution (75% nonvolatile content) was then added followed by the addition of 39 parts 2-butoxyethanol. The reaction mixture was held for about one hour at 65� C. with constant stirring to form quaternizing agent.
The pigment grinding vehicle was prepared by charging 710 parts Epon 829� (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A having an epoxide equivalent weight of 193-203) and 290 parts bisphenol A into a suitable vessel under nitrogen blanket and heated to 150�-160� C. to initiate an exothermic reaction. The exothermic reaction was continued for about one hour at 150�-160� C. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 120� and 496 part of 2-ethylhexanol half capped toluene diisocyanate was added. The temperature of the reaction mixture was held at 110�-120� C. for one hour, followed by the addition of 1095 parts of 2-butoxyethanol, the reaction mixture was then cooled to 85�-90� C. and then 71 parts of deionized water was added followed by the addition of 496 parts quarternizing agent (prepared above). The temperature of the reaction mixture was held at 85�-90� C. until an acid value of about 1 was obtained.

A Cationic electrocoating Bath I and II were prepared by mixing the above ingredients. Each bath was then ultrafiltered. Each bath was electrocoated at 250-270 volts to obtain 0.9-1.0 mils (22.86-25.4 microns). ASPP blow out crater test is used to test each bath. Crater resistance was rated according to the following rating scale of A-E:
A--0-10% defects
B--11-20% defects
C--21-40% defects
D--41-80% defects
E--Greater than 80% defects
The crater resistant rating for both Baths I and II was A.
An electrocoating bath was prepared identical to Bath I above except the anticrater agent was replaced with a conventional anti cratering agent which is the reaction product of Jeffamine� 2000 and Epon� 1001 epoxy resin and the crater resistance of this bath was tested as above by using the ASPP blow out crater test. The crater resistance rating for this panel was E which is substantially inferior to the panels coated in Baths I and II which contained the anticrater agent of this invention.
In order to measure edge corrosion resistance, knife blades (10�2 cm) were electrocoated in Baths I and II at 250 volts and baked at 182� C. (metal temperature) for 10 minutes. The knife blades then were exposed to salt spray for 7 days. The number of rust spots on each blade were counted by viewing the blades under a microscope. The blades from Bath I had 100-120 rust spots while the blades from Bath II had 20-40 rust spots which shows that Bath II which contained three times the amount of anticratering agent provided better edge corrosion protection.

I tried getting back to a sales rep to verify my order, even left a couple of voice messages but did not receive a return call. It wasn't until 2 days later that another rep called to verify my order that I was contacted. The second rep didn't even know that I had already previously been contacted. They apologized and finished up the order.

Jean Viana purchased this condo in 2008
Why Jean Viana chose 11th Arrondissement Bastille
I acquired this property as a 'pied à terre', so that I could enjoy the wonderful buzz of Paris whenever I have the inkling!
What makes this condo unique
Located in one of the most vibrant areas of Paris, access is easy for all the main Paris attractions. Despite this, the apartment is quiet and the terrace adds the extra attraction of outdoor dining.

By Susan Wloszczyna, USA TODAY
NEW YORK What would Tim Burton and Johnny Depp talk about if they were left alone in a room for several minutes — with a reporter's tape recorder innocently capturing the private moment?
Would they compare the relative beatnik cool of their goatees?
Debate possible names for Burton's next major production, a stork delivery of unknown gender due any day?
Or maybe congratulate each other on how the critics are besotted with their sixth, and unlikeliest, collaboration: an R-rated film version of the Broadway musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, just nominated for four Golden Globes.
A check of the tape reveals that the director and his alter ego got caught in the act of discussing a couple of horror heroines of yore: Elsa Lanchester, the shrieking bride of Frankenstein, and the more obscure Caroll Borland, who once vamped with Bela Lugosi.
Why? Why not, given the Goth overtones and general weirdness that infuses their movies together.
It's all the more fitting a topic, given that the actor now plays a vengeful Victorian-era serial killer who is filled with hateful rage after being wrongfully jailed and losing his wife and baby daughter.
Moviegoers eager to see Depp cut throats and growl Sondheim songs will get their chance Dec. 21, when Burton's younger, gorier, sexier and swifter take on the haunting Tony-winning material reaches theaters.
They'll find a barber whose customers get a closer shave than they bargained for. Think Jack the Ripper. Only with hot towels and a splash of bay rum.
In fact, Burton's approach was inspired by old horror movies and spooky actors like Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre.
"We took cues from silent movies," he says. "When Johnny walks into the barbershop, you just see the pain in his eyes. I find he doesn't have to say anything. It's an acting style you don't really see anymore."
Like a mad scientist and his monstrously talented creation, Burton, 49, and Depp, 44, have a kind of psychic bond that results in sometimes-bizarre notions that still manage to connect with the mainstream public. Even the actor's horsey teeth and fey vocal manner couldn't keep audiences from buying more than $200 million worth of tickets to see 2005's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
"We've been lucky to usually be on the same wavelength and like similar kinds of things," explains Burton, who, like his favorite leading man, doesn't like to get overly introspective when it comes to his work or his life.
A synergistic relationship
Helena Bonham Carter, Burton's very pregnant paramour of six years and mother of Billy, 4, has no such qualms. Depp's on-screen partner in crime plays a lusty Mrs. Lovett, the meat-pie baker who puts Sweeney's victims to practical use as filling, and she gladly dishes on the director-star relationship as she speaks from her London home.
"They have a great synergy," she says. "They are very like each other. Chosen brothers elected by each other. They have the same sense of humor and share a deep respect. They have grown up together. Edward Scissorhands joined them. They are both introverts, but very flamboyant when it comes to their work. That is their release. They are rebels, anti-authoritarian. They are very age 7 in their sense of humor."
But even in dark times, such as when Depp's daughter, Lily-Rose, then 7, was hospitalized with a serious illness three weeks into filming, the two stick by each other. The actor suggested recasting. Instead, Burton shot Sweeney-free scenes until he returned.
"Thank God, she was all right," Bonham Carter says. "It was really tough. But once it was definitely over, he was determined to finish the film and was very ready to come back."
But mostly they are like adult playmates, grown men whose careers pay them to be childlike, at least in their imaginations. Unlike most male chums, they see nothing wrong with going shopping together.
The paparazzi recently snapped them drooling over Dr. Who and Star Wars toys at the British geek emporium Forbidden Planet.
"In fact, we have to end this interview right now," Burton jokes. "We have to run to Bergdorf Goodman."
"There's a sale on," Depp adds.
Shopping is one thing. Broadway musicals? Not major fans, which makes their involvement in Sweeney Todd all the more strange.
Jests Burton: "Oh, when are we going to see The Drowsy Chaperone? Let's go 10 times!"
Exclaims Depp: "Mamma Mia!"
Confesses Burton: "Often, I'm dressed as one of the members of Cats."
Actually, it wasn't Stephen Sondheim or even the musical genre that interested Burton. It was Sweeney Todd, period. It made him want to do a film adaptation even before he was a director.
"I was about 20," says Burton, who saw the show on the London stage. "I was a college student still then. I didn't really know what I was going to do for the rest of my life. But I went three times in a row, I liked it so much. I just liked the mix of emotion and the melodrama and the humor. And the beauty of the music against that imagery, I thought was really unique. I hadn't seen anything like it."
So why don't either of them enjoy other musicals?
"I just don't go out of my way to see them," Burton says. "Most are too campy for my taste. They are campy by nature, just someone breaking into song. This is more like melodrama, which I guess is kind of campy, too. Just not in the same way. It's something I can relate to."
Depp, who dropped out of high school to be a guitarist in a punk-pop band, concedes that he likes a few musicals. But only if they rock. "The Wall is as far as I would go. Tommy. Quadrophenia. Then I ended up in Cry-Baby in 1989, which is interesting. I didn't have to sing then. We didn't have time for any of that. They got some guy to sing for me, but I had to dance. Which was the most frightening part."
At least he and Bonham Carter only briefly waltz in Sweeney Todd. Still, "I did ask for a stunt double," he half-kids.
But Depp was eager to attempt his own singing this time. Unlike Bonham Carter, who took the traditional route and found a veteran vocal coach, he went off with one of his former bandmates, and together they found a way to handle the near-operatic numbers.
"When I first heard his demo, it blew me away," Burton says. "He took this real hard music and he made it his own. It's slightly modernized and makes it accessible."
Depp isn't so sure. "I would go back and try it again if I could right now."
Bonham Carter also took baking lessons ("It was Martha Stewart gone mad"), the better to knead in time to the music while belting out The Worst Pies in London.
But no shaving classes for her Sweeney. "I didn't have to take throat-slitting lessons, either," explains Depp, who wielded custom-made blades. "And I slit more throats than I shave people."
Not that he really disposed of anyone's whiskers. "Only myself in the morning." Though he came close with Alan Rickman's lascivious Judge Turpin. "I lathered him, which made me very nervous."
'Spectacular,' says Sondheim
Sondheim approved of the casting and conferred on which songs to cut and other changes, slicing about an hour from the stage version. "He trusted me, knowing that I am not an idiot," Burton says. "I think he sensed my passion."
As the composer and lyricist told a preview audience full of highly opinionated Broadway types, "Those of you who know the show — forget it. Just go along with it, and I think you will have a spectacular time. It is its own animal."
Speaking of animals, one of the more comical highlights of the movie is when Sweeney has a shave-off with his preening rival, Signor Adolfo Pirelli, played by Sacha Baron Cohen of Borat fame with the ripest Italian accent since Chico Marx.
He nearly upstages the entire movie. Not with his voice. But with the considerable bulge in his pants. Asked if Cohen perhaps shoved a large rodent into his tight periwinkle-blue trousers, director and actor laugh and deny any knowledge — although costume designer Colleen Atwood has since admitted that "a little quilted thing" was nestled near his groin.
"He was just very enthusiastic," Depp suggests.
"He was very excited to do a musical," Burton adds. "We tried to cover it up. But he's just happy to be there."
As for whether Christmas crowds will be happy to spend the holiday counting the bodies as they pile up in Mrs. Lovett's basement, Burton has his answer all wrapped up with a bow and ready to go.
"You leave the theater thinking your life isn't so awful, so it's a time of hope. You know. 'My family isn't so rotten after all. That turkey wasn't so bad.' "
Besides, we know someone who could carve that bird to perfection.

CRM Selection: Getting Requirements to Reflect Reality
October 24, 2014
Perhaps the most important thing you can do before buying business software is to understand what you really want. Software is different from buying a car -- a physical thing you can inspect and whose operation you understand. It's different from buying a commodity, whose characteristics are already clear and there's little variation from purchase to purchase.
Robots Gearing Up to Join Ebola Front Lines
October 24, 2014
The White House and roboticists have set Nov. 7 to get together in a workshop to explore ways of using robots to help in the battle against Ebola. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy will cohost the workshop on safety robotics for Ebola workers, with Texas A&M University's Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue, or CRASAR.
Zuckerberg Talks His Way Into Chinese Hearts and Minds
October 24, 2014
When Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg went on stage at Tsinghua University in Beijing Wednesday for a 30-minute Q&A session, the audience expected him to do what foreigners generally do: Utter a few words in Mandarin to acknowledge their culture, then depend heavily on translators. Instead, Zuckerberg elicited gasps of approval from the audience when he spoke in Mandarin all the way.
The Customer Science Revolution
October 23, 2014
Bluewolf, the consultancy that was founded to assist customers implementing and deploying Salesforce.com, has released its annual State of Salesforce report. There is very little that's controversial. Salesforce is a juggernaut at this point, growing at an exceptional and exponential pace. My only quibble with the account is that it does not look very far beneath the surface of the statistics.
Space Explorers Hole Up in Hawaii to Simulate Life on Mars
October 23, 2014
The third in a series of four simulated missions to Mars planned by NASA kicked off last week at a remote site on the Hawaiian island of Mauna Loa.

Is Amazon a Robber Baron or a Robin Hood?
October 23, 2014
Amazon's tactics in its ongoing battles with content publishers are fast becoming a bone of contention. The company has delayed distributing content from companies it's tussling with over content price points or its cut of the take. It's been steering customers to other publishers, at times overtly. Amazon's actions have given rise to speculation that it might perhaps be getting too powerful.
Apple Is Confusing Tablet Leadership With Awesomeness
October 23, 2014
The new super thin iPad Air 2 is starting to get tepid reviews, most of which begrudgingly call it the "best tablet" in the market, while admitting it's boring. Instead of talking up all the great things about how it makes their lives better or fun, the focus is starting to turn to the glaringly obvious annoyances about what it doesn't do well at all.
Divvying Up the US' Crucial Wireless Spectrum
October 23, 2014
The U.S. government is about to hold another wireless spectrum auction. Why is spectrum so important? If you owned a brand new car with brand new tires, you would still need air in those tires in order to drive, right? That's wireless spectrum. It's the air inside the tires that lets you drive. Without spectrum, you can't use mobile apps. The problem is, wireless spectrum is not unlimited.
Reading and Writing and Open Source
October 22, 2014
Digital textbooks with open-licensed content -- and sometimes even complete open source textbooks -- are starting to change the way students and teachers interact with subject material. The budget-busting prices of traditional printed textbooks and the ubiquity of mobile devices have provided textbook authors and educators with convincing reasons to give students an alternative.
FTC Snags Soltani for Chief Technologist Role
October 22, 2014

Black Box Keeps Cybersnoops in Dark
October 21, 2014
Following Edward Snowden's revelations about indiscriminate government snooping on U.S. citizens, many Net surfers would like to find a way to lower their visibility on the Internet. There are a number of tools in cyberspace that can help a soul do that, but they can take time and savvy to set up. That's why Kerry Cox launched the Sierra Project, which he hopes to fund through Kickstarter.
Feds Loosening Purse Strings for Cloud Deployments
October 21, 2014
Federal investment in cloud technology is picking up steam and should increase sharply in the next several years -- but that doesn't mean that government agencies suddenly have found that cloud migration will be either quick or simple. Federal cloud spending will jump from slightly more than $3 billion in fiscal 2014 to $9.9 billion in fiscal 2018, according to IDC Government Insights.
Tablet Wars: The iPad Drifts Toward Mediocrity
October 20, 2014
There have been a lot of interesting tablets launched over the last month, but Apple -- the primary driver in this market -- didn't launch one of them. Remember when the first and second iPads came out? They were magical, amazing devices. Fifty percent of the installed base is still generation 1 and 2 iPads, according to studies. Tim Cook can't get people to give them up to buy new ones.
Top 5 Ways to Make Money With Software
October 20, 2014

Salesforce's Wave Is Only Half the Analytics Answer
October 17, 2014
Salesforce.com's major Dreamforce news was, as the company itself admitted, the worst-kept secret at the show.

The graphic representations of data are simple, clean and automatically animated.
BBC to Preserve Memory of Its 'Forgotten' Articles
October 17, 2014
The BBC will publish and continually update a list of its published articles that were removed from Google searches under Europe's "right to be forgotten" rule. David Jordan, director of editorial policy and standards for the BBC, announced the move. The decision is a reaction to the EC ruling that search engines must remove "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant" links upon request.
Tide Starts to Turn Against Gamergate's Women-Hating Campaign
October 17, 2014
Backlash against the #Gamergate movement escalated several notches this week, thanks to high-profile newspaper reports and a public statement from the Entertainment Software Association. "Threats of violence and harassment are wrong," the ESA said. "They have to stop. There is no place in the video game community -- or our society -- for personal attacks and threats."
Debate Simmers Over Facebook, Apple Egg-Freezing Benefit
October 16, 2014
Facebook and Apple, companies already known for their generous employee benefits, are raising the bar even more by paying for egg-freezing services for their female employees. Facebook began covering up to $20,000 in these expenses at the start of the year, and Apple will beginning covering them at the start of next. At first blush, it seems to be a typical high-tech perk.
Jottings on Dreamforce 2014
October 16, 2014
Dreamforce has always been about many things happening at once -- a three-ring circus, in a good way. There are announcements about applications, platforms, philanthropy, entertainment and, importantly, parties. This year there was all of that and then some -- I was a guest with a ringside seat. Perhaps the worst-kept secret of the event was the company's announcement of Wave, its analytics cloud.
No More Wireless Mergers? No Problem
October 16, 2014
Big news: The new wireless world in the United States, which has been led by AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile, will stay exactly the same. That's right -- Iliad no longer is interested in T-Mobile. There will be no changes -- for now, anyway. So can we finally forget about all the merger distractions and focus on competing again? Please!
Report: Open Source Needs to Get With the Security Program
October 15, 2014
Open source developers apparently don't adhere to best practices such as using static analysis and conducting regular security audits, found Coverity's Spotlight report, released Wednesday.

Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW) today announced the launch of the AirLink® ES440 enterprise 4G LTE gateway and terminal server. The AirLink ES440 provides mission-critical 4G LTE connectivity when primary wireline internet connections are unavailable, making it ideal for the distributed enterprise market – customers with branch locations that are remote from the main office infrastructure. These customers require seamless connectivity and automatic failover to continuously process transactions for businesses such as retail, restaurant, and financial services chains.
Together with an enterprise router, the AirLink ES440 supports a best-in-class business continuity strategy by enabling out-of-band-management (OOBM) capability to IT administrators while leveraging the router's failover and firewall features. This allows IT administrators to remotely troubleshoot and repair network equipment over wireless wide area networks, dramatically reducing the need to manually reset or update networking equipment on site.
"For distributed enterprise customers, network downtime means lost revenue and customers," said Emmanuel Walckenaer, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Solutions for Sierra Wireless. "Imagine a busy retail location unable to process transactions because of a failure in its landline connection. The AirLink ES440 is a critical component in a strong IT strategy for distributed enterprises for two reasons. First, it provides a reliable backup internet connection to keep transactions flowing, using high-speed 4G LTE networks. Secondly, it allows network administrators to use the OOBM feature to remotely reboot an attached router and get their network back online without the time and expense of a site visit."
The AirLink ES440 also includes the ability to remotely configure, deploy and monitor the gateway, and manage airtime subscriptions across multiple networks using AirVantage® Management Service (AVMS). With AVMS, network administrators are also able to create configuration templates to speed up large deployments or bring new deployments online in seconds.
The AirLink ES440 is available now from Sierra Wireless distributors and resellers in North America and Europe.
What customers are saying
"For Money Mart, having a backup system to process transactions is absolutely essential. The cost of downtime is simply too high. We landed on Sierra Wireless AirLink gateways after extensive testing of multiple devices, and found that when the device needed to roll over to wireless, the Sierra Wireless platform was the only one that offered the stability we needed. The new AirLink ES440 is a perfect fit for us and will be a logical choice for our future deployments." – Pete Wilson, Telecom and Network Administrator, Money Mart
"We use AirLink devices because of their proven stability and their excellent reputation for quality - our customers trust them. It's clear that Sierra Wireless has listened to the needs of our market in designing the new AirLink ES440 - it provides exactly what we need in terms of balancing performance, build quality, features, and cost." – Michael Kuhlmann, CEO, Colony Networks

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

From a software development perspective IoT is about programming "things," about connecting them with each other or integrating them with existing applications. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Yakov Fain, co-founder of Farata Systems and SuranceBay, will show you how small IoT-enabled devices from multiple manufacturers can be integrated into the workflow of an enterprise application. This is a practical demo of building a framework and components in HTML/Java/Mobile technologies to serve as a platform that can integrate new devices as they become available on the market.

Connected devices are changing the way we go about our everyday life, from wearables to driverless cars, to smart grids and entire industries revolutionizing business opportunities through smart objects, capable of two-way communication.

How do we secure those vast data infrastructures and safe-keep the privacy of sensitive information? This session will outline how each and every connected device can uphold a core root of trust via a unique cryptographic signature – a "bir...

WebRTC defines no default signaling protocol, causing fragmentation between WebRTC silos. SIP and XMPP provide possibilities, but come with considerable complexity and are not designed for use in a web environment. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Matthew Hodgson, technical co-founder of the Matrix.org, will discuss how Matrix is a new non-profit Open Source Project that defines both a new HTTP-based standard for VoIP & IM signaling and provides reference implementations.

Solo traveler
Really close to the convention centre. Loads of taxis and the number three bus goes from right outside into the city centre.
Pool was not great, small and not very warm.
Solo traveler
good overall facilities, good quality of stay. when needed, the hotel tried its best to meet client desires.
the decent wifi connection needs to be paid extra 10.00 per day and it is a bit far from the main places on Michigan Ave.
Solo traveler
Hotel restaurant was empty for obvious reason. Had a meal there. Food was not fresh and served cold.
The view. Close proximity to Metra and McCormack Place. The room was up-to-date and clean.
Very pricey, but you get what you pay for.
The southern view from the 32nd floor was very nice, bed was comfortable, location was ok although I would have liked more dining options within walking distance
Wi-Fi was inconsistent at best, didn't care for the bathroom layout (shower/toilet area was cramped), housekeeping woke us up one morning at 7:55AM (who cleans that early?)
I was in town to run the Chicago marathon. The staff was very helpfull with everything needed to make my stay a pleasure, I would stay at the Hyatt McCormick place again. Great job by everyone.
Solo traveler
There's lots to love Pillows, the bed, the room The Bar and its staff WiFi included with my room Closeness to my conference When I asked not to be disturbed, they didn't
I wanted a place to have a cigarette quietly and they only offered me right outside the front door where children could see The shower had no pressure
Comfortable rooms, modern decor
When I booked through booking, the room was supposed to have free parking and wifi (that's how it was advertised). At checkin, that wasn't included. After discussion, the manager said she would grant free parking and wifi. But she never did. The next day I had to have the same argument with a new manager, who accused me of lying about my conversation with the first manager, and that he would "get back to me later." It seems they like to use the "later" technique to blow you off, hoping you'll forget.
Convenience of being at McCormick Place.
Cab lines. The staff does not manage cabs at all, only limousines. If you need a cab, get in line early because you are going to wait. And wait. And wait.
The staff at the Hyatt was outstanding. The hotel was very clean and the service was truly outstanding. I was there for a weekend visit to Notre Dame vs Stanford football game. I wish the had a double header. The place was that comfortable and a very relaxing atmosphere. I will stay here again if the need arise.
Modern spacious rooms. Affordable parking. Overall a nice hotel. The staff was both courteous and helpful. I would recommend this hotel.
The hotel's location is not the most convenient but it is close enough to the downtown area.
I paid $25.00 a night to park in the garage only to find out when I arrived back at the garage on the night of my first visit , there were no parking spaces available....there were several reserved parking spaces that was EMPTY and several Valet parking spaces coned off that was EMPTY... I was told by Security that I had to park across the street in a separate garage and walk back across to the hotel. I think if you would park the Valet cars across the street in the separate garage that would free up parking spaces for hotel guest to park in the hotel parking garage
top floor views
The price we got.
Not having free WiFi
We had a great evening out and it was wonderful to stay at the Hyatt for our 20th Anniversary.
Room next door was a little noisy...but not a big deal.
Upgraded us to 25th floor with wonderful view of the city!!!!!!!!
Proximity to the McCormick Place
There is no Indian or Asian Cousine Restaurant within the Hotel. So you need to go out for such Cuisines
Location, view from our room, staff, restaurants!
Perhaps a bit on the expensive side.
large room great service good location
no rain shower soft bed free wifi was slooow
When I ordered room service they were so nice and delivering the food they were so respectful and just made us feel comfortable
Lake View room was a side view of the lake barely see anything
Solo traveler
Clean and quiet service is fantastic
Not much within walking distance to eat. Bar/lounge in lobby level was terrible - both in Food and drink quality
Solo traveler
Convenient location, amenities present, free wi-fi
Premium price, above expected for amenities provided
Very convenient, located close to everything. Nice hotel. Staff was very professional, courteous and accommodating. Beds were comfortable and pillows were soft (:
I thought the rooms were excellent and comfortable. Very helpful and friendly staff. Restaurants were very nice.
Transport was very bad to get into the city centre trains are not frequent. However you could get a taxi which was cheap when a few are travelling

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
We'll be contenders: Pavelec
Making playoffs is young team's focus
ONDREJ Pavelec had only been in town a few hours when he made his intentions very clear for this season with the Winnipeg Jets.
"Absolutely, we can make the playoffs. We're a young team but we're a year older and we have more experience," said Pavelec, who went 21-23-9 in goal for the Atlanta Thrashers last season.
"We lost eight in a row at one stretch and any team that does that won't make the playoffs. But if we don't lose those games we make the playoffs and that has to be our focus this season."
Pavelec and defenceman Zach Bogosian were the latest Jets to report to Winnipeg with defenceman Dustin Byfuglien the lone big name not in town at this point.
The rookies and prospects are in Penticton this week for a Young Stars tournament and main camp opens in Winnipeg on Saturday.
Pavelec says he's ready for lots of action.
"I want to play every game. Every player does," said the 24-year-old Czech. "But it's a team game and I want what is best for the team."
Watching his team move from Atlanta to Winnipeg from afar kept Pavelec glued to the Internet this summer.
"Absolutely. This is your team and your job. I have one year left on my contract so of course you want to know where you're going to play," said Pavelec. "Right after the season we had some direction that this might happen so we just waited and it did happen. Now we're here and going to enjoy being with a new team."
The change in address is a positive for Pavelec.
"It's Canada. I played two years of junior in Canada and I told people it would be crazy here but I didn't realize it would be this crazy," he said."
For many of the Jets this is their first experience in Winnipeg but Pavelec knows the city from his time in the AHL.
"I played here a couple of times with the Chicago Wolves. It's freezing here and bad weather, but we're here for hockey," he said. "Atlanta was a nice city but the hockey market wasn't that good. It's awesome here and it's great to be here. The city will love the hockey and the building will be sold out every night. That's huge."
